Imagine walking into a room and meeting your new family. As an adult. While entering the room, various people reach out to you and you see a few familiar faces. You sense the welcome and the curiosity of these 20-plus people sharing delicious, home-cooked food.

This has been my experience while exploring a brand-new concept in Nashville, its first cohousing community, Germantown Commons of Tennessee LLC, which is located at the corner of Fifth and Taylor. This idea appeals to me and my family partly because of the intentional nature of this cohousing community.
